Today, I will expand once again on how the first principle of life - sampoorti, integrity - supports you in transforming your life as you want, manifesting your reality as you want.

So let me define integrity once again. Integrity is you fulfilling the word or thought you give to yourself and to others, and experiencing the state of completion with yourself and with life.

Let me also define reality. Reality means, projecting your life in the outer world as you also want it in the inner world, and because there is no discrepancy between the inner world and the outer world, experiencing the truth of non-duality. Advaita is Reality! Listen! Not having any conflict or contradiction in the inner world about what you want, and projecting that, and experiencing that without any conflict or contradiction in the outer world – this is Reality. Also, because there is no conflict or contradiction, either in the inner world, or between the inner and outer worlds, experiencing non-duality as the flow of your very life – this is Reality.

Now let me expand on Reality, so that you understand how the four principles can be used to make reality as you want. Let me once again define what reality is. This is a very important definition. Only when you experience this as your reality can you have the experience of brahmanyam bahuputrataam - I am the favorite inheritor of the Cosmos!

Reality means not having any conflicts and contradictions internally about what you want to experience as your inner world and outer world, and projecting it so powerfully that there is no conflict between your projection and your experience-perception. But even inside you, there is so much conflict and contradiction! What you really want inside you and outside you – even in that, there is so much conflict.

Second, because there is a conflict inside you, what you project is not able to move the outside the way you want. For example, when you say you want money, one part of you already says, ‘No, no, I will ask, but you should not give!’ Because of the conflict, contradictions and unconsciousness inside, what you project outside also has conflict, contradictions and unconsciousness. Because of that, your outer world also has unconsciousness, conflict and contradictions. This is what I call un-reality; the confusion of dwandva or duality.

First be clear within yourself about how much wealth you need, and how much responsibility you need to take for it. What is the way you want to feel about yourself, and what is the way you want to project yourself to others? What are the other ways you can perceive yourself? Have clarity and take responsibility for all this, so that you are feeling complete inside. The power of your inner completion is such that the moment you project something out of completion, the whole world runs to fulfill it and serve you!

You need to know a beautiful story about the child devotee Prahlada's life. When Prahlada's angry father asked Prahlada, - 'Is your Narayana – your God - in this pillar? Is He inside that pillar? Is He in this stone?,' Prahlada was about to raise his small finger and show his father that his God was really there in the pillar. A child will natural takes a little time to lift his hand and show inside which pillar his Narayana is! When Prahlada was about to mention the pillar, Narayana started running from his heavenly abode in Vaikunta! His consort Lakshmi asked, 'What happened? Why are you running so fast? What is there to be in such a hurry about?' Narayana said, 'No, no, you don't know! Wherever my devotee Prahlada points his finger, I have to enter into that pillar! Wherever he points, I have to occupy that place and emerge from it!'

Listen! When a child is established in Integrity, just for his hand movement or the direction he shows, God lands! Listen! The whole world moves as you want when you are established in Integrity. In the Indian scriptures, one child devotee is the embodiment of each of the tattvas. Prahlada is the embodiment of integrity, Nachiketa is the embodiment of authenticity, Dhruva is the embodiment of responsibility, Markandeya is the embodiment of enriching.

Reality means not
having any con-
flicts and contra-
dictions in your
inner world and
outer world, and
projecting it so
there is no con-
flict between your
projection and
your experience!

When you are in completion, with integrity, without internal conflict or contradictions, whatever you project on the cosmos is a project for the cosmos! Simply cosmos does it. When you are integrated, the outer world obeys you just like that. That is the power of integrity! Please listen: nothing is political on the planet Earth; nothing is accidental on the planet Earth. Everything runs on these four principles.

You may have a doubt – are politicians integrated, are they authentic, are they responsible, are they enriching? How come they have whatever they want? First thing, they may be amazingly integrated and authentic in ways you never expected them to be! Second, they may not be having what they want. They may be having what you want! And you may be having what they want. Understand, they having what you want does not make them big. It makes them big for you, but not for themselves.

Many times, people are big for you, but not for themselves. That is the funniest thing! Those whom you perceive as the big guys, when you touch the right spot, suddenly you will see they are hollow, empty inside. And those whom you think are empty and hollow will be very clear, very integrated, very authentic or very responsible.

So you need to know, however much you argue or try to convince yourself and others, the sun cannot be conquered by clouds, even though it shows as if they can cover it. In the same way, the cosmos, the world, humanity and society, everything runs on these four principles. Everything runs on this dharma. So let your thoughts not cloud you. Declare your victory!

Sometimes, in the cloud, you will see a great warrior on a horse. That fellow tries to come and cover the sun, and declare victory over the sun by showing his sword - without realizing that in a few minutes, his whole form will be disintegrated! Your logic also sometimes comes and shows its sword and claims victory. But the world runs only on these four principles. The world runs only on these four principles. If you are in complete integrity with you, you can simply project whatever you want! I tell you, the world simply listens. I can see in my own life. When I just say it from my own experience, things simply happen.

When you are in
completion, with
integrity, without
internal conflict
or contradic-
tions, whatever
you project on the
cosmos is a project
for the cosmos!
The cosmos sim-
ply does it!

The whole world listens to you when you project your reality out of completion. When you are in completion and project that to the world, you can see it becoming reality. When both your inside and outside are in completion, your experience of you and your experience of life do not have any conflict or contradiction with each other. That is what I call the flow of Advaita, flow of non-duality. Only when the flow of non-duality becomes your reality can you realize that you are the favorite inheritor of the cosmos - brahmanyam bahuputrataam!

You always feel it is a remote possibility in your life, if at all it is possible - which is not true! You need to know that you can complete now. You need not take years to complete the incompletion that you created for years. Declare now that you are complete, and you will be complete. The principles of life are always eternal. They are eternal. The first thing you need to do is to declare that you are complete inside. Declare that you are complete inside. And out of that completion, project to the world, and see that what you want is becoming reality.

Listen, creating your reality is a science. Every human being, the moment he lands on the planet Earth, should be taught to create his own reality. Create what you want - this should be syllabus in our gurukul, in our Vidyalayas, at all levels. Every child who joins our Vidyalaya or gurukul should be given basic lessons in how to create your life, your reality.

Understand: you are already creating your reality every moment. When you are feeling tired or bored, and you are entertaining it, cherishing it, you are relaying the same waves and projecting the same thing on the world, and the world also behaves with you in a tired and bored way.

Listen, I am making a statement: every rupee you spend is a vote you are casting for the future of the world as you want it to happen. With every rupee you are spending, you are casting a vote for the way the world should be in the future.

If you are spending all your money in gold, feeling that the gold price is going to go up and it will be a security for your future, you are voting for the concept of gold. Naturally you are raising the value of gold, the value of it for your future. If all of us suddenly decide that jeans are going to be the costliest item in future, it is going to decide the power of the currency in future, let us all invest in jeans and store them, from tomorrow jeans will have the value of gold! If all of us decide that a pebble is costlier than gold, it is really a rare commodity, all of us like it, but the supply is limited - suddenly it will go higher in value than a diamond!

Listen! Every rupee you spend is a vote you are casting for the future of the world, expecting how the future of the world should be. Every rupee you save in the bank is also a vote you are casting. It means that you trust only currency, not real objects. That is also the vote you are casting. So understand, the whole thing is democracy. What is democracy? The projection of the individual becoming reality for the individual is democracy! Domesticating the craziness of the world is democracy.

Declare that
you are complete
inside. And out
of that comple-
tion, project to the
world, and see that
what you want is
becoming reality!

Please listen: every rupee you are spending is a vote you are casting to the world about the way you want the future of the world, whether you are storing it in the bank or you are putting it real estate or you are putting it in gold or you are putting it in some other mode of investment or you are just spending it.

If you are in the field of economy you will understand this insight. Economy and Enlightenment together can be realized, understood, solved with these four principles. Enlightenment is the individual's Reserve Bank. Economy is Cosmic Enlightenment! For an individual, if his economy is complete, that is what he considers as enlightenment, even though it is not enlightenment. Same way, collectively also, we consider our economy as the completion, fulfillment. No! If you are spending your money on building ashrams and temples, saying that is going to be the important need of the future, you are voting for the idea that is going to become the important need of the future!

In future satsangs, I will expand on this same principle, the same truth, of how the integrity can lead you to ultimate experience of advaita - brahmanyam bahuputrataam!

Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you!
